    hi friends,
    B.E - Degree Offered by OU
    B.Tech - Degree Offered by JNTU

    B.E stands for Bachelor of Engineering while B.Tech stands for Bachelor of Technology. These degrees are typically awarded to the students of engineering upon completion of course. It would be important to notice that the engineering course differs in different states all over India and all the leading independent Universities in India have their own courses. So there's no 'real' difference between these two degrees.

    There are several colleges that offer B.E, which is more common among these two degrees while the IITs and other leading institutes offer B.Tech. Chemical engineers typically get the B.Tech degree while most other engineering disciplines are awarded the B.E degree.

    I hope this will clear some confusion about the difference between B.E and B.Tech degrees.

    I think it depends on the course you are choosing. Like, if he course has "technology", you'll get a B.Tech. If it has "Engineering" in it's name, you get a B.E.

    Foe ex.,
    If you choose Information Technology or Biotechnology, you get B.Tech.
    And if you choose computer science or electronics, you get B.E.

    Not sure, though.
    Just a guess!!

    And ideally, it shouldn't matter too. Both B.E and B.Tech have the same value, I guess!!

    Yes, its not like that. Computer Science also get B.Tech (I am an example ;) )

    I think B.E. basically stresses on conceptual clarification.But B.Tech stresses on practical exposure of concepts.Both are equivalent degrees and syllabus of both are also almost equal.

    B.E. is offered by Osmania while Btech is offered by JNTU Be syllabus is updated every 5yrs and Btech is done almost in two/three yrs.

    it depends upon the university under which we study.. Anna university gives B.E. degree while Pondicherry University gives B.Tech.. I'm sure about it

    hi...
    Almost the answer is already given by hemayun... I agreed with that....There is no difference between B.E and B.Tech.. The degree will be given according to the university we have studied.. Similar to this is B.L and L.L.B...the both degrees are same for Law..But the degree will be assigned with respect to the university we studied...

    I hope it is right....

    Do u know???????
    WINNERS DONT DO DIFFERENT THINGS..THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY..i.e. An :cean:

    Hello,
    BE is knowledge oriented in general.

    B Tech is skill oriented.


    Now-a-days, nobody is caring of the difference. Its only University dependency. Strictly speaking, BE is more theoretical and B Tech is more practical. In BE we study the reasons also in depth. In B Tech we concentrate on skills. Deciding what is greater degree is dependent on the application/job you are doing. Engineers feel that BE is greater then B Tech. Hands-on-experience is preferable to knowledge in many countries (not in INDIA. In India, knowledge is only provided. People are not interested in hands-on-experience.) In many countries, an Engineer without skill is not an Engineer. To focus this point, B Tech course was developed. This way B Tech is greater than BE.
    Now, there is no difference in both.

    hi... i hope ths will help u undrstanding the difference

    here in pakistan, here are two types of studies after 10th standard. these are
    1) A-level/ F.Sc(this is the formal education that deals with basics and concepts do not deals with any particular field. subjects are chemistry, physics, math , biology etc)
    2) diploma in assosiate engg. (this is technical education that is based on practical work in particular field ie electronics, mechanical, civil etc)
    aftr completion of ether of these you have to move towards the bachelors degree. (infact diploma holders are called diploma engineers and have edge to get a technical job without bachlrs degree).
    now again B.E is conceptual study but practical is also at its peak. so A-level/FSc students always go for BE. as diploma holders have only practical studies background. they might have some problems in studing the concepts etc but they are sharp in practical. so a different study plan was introduced for them specially. that is Btech.
    infact, sharp diploma engg may go for BE. and vice versa.

    This is an another common question like who's a better scientist Einstein or Newton?:confused::confused:

    Another common question among engineering students and usually a question of argument between friends is what is the difference between B.Tech and BE, which is better or have better scope. Similarly for M.Tech too, what is the difference between M.Tech and ME. I searched for it and found many forums are filled with non satisfying replies. I will present a most reasonable and valid difference between these two.:)

    First please note that there is no difference between these degrees in terms of value and scope. BE and B.Tech have smilar scope and future and on the same time ME and M.Tech have same scope future.
    Now let’s dig the question little deep.:rolleyes:
    If BE and B.Tech or ME and M.Tech have same value and scope why the names are different. :(
    Right after independence of India we have two types of universities, one that offers degrees in many fields like Sciences, Arts, Education and Engineering too, and the second set of universities (were named as institutes) offer only degrees in engineering. Universities those offer other degrees along with engineering named their engineering degree as BE (Bachelor of Engineering) and Institute constituted for only Engineering studies named their degree as B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology).
    Now as AICTE approve courses most of the courses are same and identical for BE and B.Tech. The universities those offering BE when started new courses named them to B.Tech too.
    No degree, BE or B.Tech and ME or M.Tech is superior other others in terms of theory or experiment. BE and B.Tech or ME and M.Tech are same. Both of them are same and have similar scope and future. If there is some notification for BE, B.Tech’s are also eligible to apply and vise versa.

    With regards

    Some Misconceptions are :-

    B.Tech is offered by government institutes and BE is offered by private institutes.
    There is absolutely no truth in this. Institutes like Netaji Subash Institute of Technology, University of Mumbai (Department of Chemical Technology) which are government institutes offer a BE degree and there are umpteen private institutes that offer a B.Tech degree.

    No industrial training in BE or B.Tech
    In both, BE and B.Tech, industrial training is compulsory after semester 6.

    B.Tech or BE is valued more than the other
    Your performance and to a lesser extent your college is what matters. Neither is preferred over the other.

    Key differentiators between B.E. and B.Tech.
    • BE is Bachelor of Engineering whereas B Tech is Bachelor of Technology.
    • The key difference between the two is its course material and its orientation.
    • B.E. is a more theoretical knowledge oriented course whereas B Tech is a practical knowledge-oriented program.
    Both B.E. and B.Tech are graduate academic degrees awarded to aspirants who effectively complete the concerned professional program. Although B.E. and B.Tech are similar professional courses, some differences can be pointed out when comparing the two.
